Huge disappointment and sort-of-Puff-Daddy-lookalike Jose Reyes is undergoing surgery today! Good times! From MLB.com:
The surgery that, for much of the summer, seemed to be a strong possibility finally is going to happen. Jose Reyes will undergo surgery to eliminate scar tissue behind his right knee on Thursday in Dallas.
The tissue that eventually caused the Mets shortstop regular pain began to develop in May after he had torn the accessory hamstring tendon (semitendinosis tendon) behind the knee.
The club announced the surgery Wednesday night. No prognosis was given. The operation will be performed by Dr. Daniel E. Cooper at North Central Surgical in Dallas.
I’m sure Mets fans are thinking that it’s about time – Reyes was on the shelf since May, but the Mets held out all season long. If Reyes isn’t ready to start the 2010 season (which I don’t think is very far-fetched), Mets fans can blame the organization for having no clue what to do with their shortstop. Although, I’d probably be more concerned that the best player on my team (that’s David Wright) hit fewer home runs than: Scott Rolen, Adam Kennedy, Ty Wigginton, and Pedro Feliz, just to name a few. Shea was a total dump, but at least it didn’t neuter the Mets’ offense. Dark days ahead for these New York Mets…
